The Producers’ Brunch has now become a fixed part of the Berlinale’s non-official supporting program. This time, the focus was on the tension between artistic freedom, economic freedom and the personal rights of authors and artists in the AI-supported creation of artificial persons in audiovisual productions.<\/p>\n
After a rousing video presentation by Sven Bliedung von der Heide (CEO, Volucap), BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT partner Dr. Martin Schaefer<\/a> gave the keynote speech. Afterwards, Sven Bliedung, Kerstin Schmitt (lawyer, HAVE FEY) and Professor Lea Marleen Reuter (actress, professor at Macromedia University) discussed the topic under the moderation of Dr. Julian Waiblinger (Partner, NORDEMANN). After the closing summary by Prof. Dr. Jan Bernd Nordemann, the approximately 200 visitors to the event continued the debate over brunch in the spacious atrium of the Brandenburg State Representation.<\/p>\n Since its inception, the Producers’ Brunch has taken place at the invitation of the State of Brandenburg in its Representation to the Federal Government near the \u201cBerlinale Palast\u201d. In his welcoming address, David Kolesnyk, State Secretary in the State Chancellery and Representative of the State of Brandenburg to the Federal Government, emphasized the importance of Brandenburg as \u201cone of the most prominent media and production locations in Germany\u201d.<\/p>\n\n
